Caenorhabditis Genetics Center

The Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC) is a research facility dedicated to studying a tiny roundworm called Caenorhabditis elegans, commonly used in genetic research. Located at the University of Minnesota, the CGC provides scientists worldwide with strains of this worm, which is important for understanding genetics, development, and behavior. By analyzing its simple biology, researchers can gain insights into more complex organisms, including humans, making the CGC a vital resource in the fields of genetics and developmental biology.
